Elizabeth Van Doorn was baptized as “Elizabeth Johanna Van Doorn” on May 7, 1876 at the First Reformed Church of Rochester, New York.


In 1900, Henry Stormzand was a widower with three sons ages 20, 13, and 9 living at 855 East Fulton Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His oldest son, John, was a “chair maker.” Elizabeth (Liz) Van Doorn lived with the family and served as the housekeeper.


John Stormzand and Elizabeth Van Doorn were married on Jul 3, 1900 in Grand Rapids, Michigan by Reverend James Ossewaarde in Bethany Reformed Church. 


John was a furniture maker in Grand Rapids. He relocated his business to Big Rapids, MI. in 1904.

In 1910, the Stormzands were living in Grand Ledge, Michigan, which is just outside of Lansing. John was working as a factory foreman.


He eventually got out of the furniture business and ran a scrap iron and metal business in Detroit, MI.

Lizzie was described by her grandson, Dave Stormzand, as “jolly and fun-loving.” Jeannette Isenga described her as “a lot of fun.”


John and Elizabeth’s son, Harold, taught in the Electrical Department at Cass Technical High School in Detroit from 1921 to 1958. He was an elder in the Presbyterian Church and served on the School Board in Erin Township.
